Gibson Ripper

I've been looking for a new bass for a while and saw a used 70's Gibson Ripper in wonderful condition at Guitar Center for $400. It played great lokked great and sounded great. I play mostly rock, blues, and a little funk and jazz. Does this sound like a good deal? and what do you think of the Gibson Ripper?

That's a steal for Rippers nowadays, especially for one in good condition.

I paid $450 for my 1980 Ripper a few years back and love it to death. I play rock and honky-tonk and the range of sound covers everything we do.

If you don't get it, I know someone who will. What city is that GC located?

I also had one of these in 1983.I got it from a pawn shop when I was station at Ft.Bragg N.C for $275.00 ! and wished like hell I would've kept it !
However $400 bucks is good deal these days for such a rare bass to find
